Default rotor question

im going to be upgrading to some drilled and slotted rotors on the cobra .. my question is can i take the stock rotors off of the cobra and put them on the 6 seeing how they are better?

no not directly the cobra rotors are 13 inch not like those tiny v6 rotors, the system would need new harnesses to move the caliper up (away from the center of the wheel hub) to fit the larger diameter rotors then u may have a clearance problem if u still have stock 15 inch rims if u did a big brake conversion on the 6

Don't waste time and money on drilled/slotted rotors. Upgrade your pads for better stopping.

why put used rotors on your car there only like $25 each?

you would need backets and calipers as well
